Bai Li looked down and carefully examined the paper. The pet live-streaming incubation base was located in an urban village, quite a distance from here.

It says that owners can also bring their cats and dogs for training. Cats and dogs trained there become exceptionally obedient and well-behaved, making them perfect for earning money through live streaming.

Cute pet videos and live streams are currently very popular on various short video platforms.

This incubation base might actually be quite tempting for many people.

After seeing all this, Bai Li pretty much understood what was going on.

"Meow meow".

He was no longer afraid of the stray dog, and sincerely thanked it.

The stray dog ​​felt an itch in its paws upon hearing the meowing, and longed to nibble at the little white cat.

But he held back in the end.

"Where are you going? I'll take you." The stray dog ​​lowered its head and asked him.

"To the urban village," Bai Li answered honestly.

"I'll carry you there."

The stray dog ​​barked and lay down on its front legs, letting Bai Li climb on top of it.

“If I want to go to the urban village,” Bai Li said, not in a hurry to climb up, but standing on the paper, “it’s very far, it will take a long time to run there.”

The urban village is located on the very edge of City A, where rents are the lowest. Compared to the living and cost of living in the city, it is considered a slum.

Upon hearing the location, the stray dog ​​barked, "The people who came here drove a small truck."

"Come on up. If you're looking for them, you'll be running until your legs break."

This kitten's legs are so short, it probably can't run very fast.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li no longer hesitated and climbed onto the wild dog.

"Brother Dog, I need to go back to the overpass first and make arrangements for my men."

"Woof."

Sit tight, I'll take you there.

The stray dogs have long legs, run fast, and know how to take shortcuts. Before long, they reached the overpass.

Without Bai Li's instructions, Dian Dian and Da Hui dared not run around, and with Mei Mei missing, they were also afraid of losing her.

Bai Li prepared cat food for them and left them some change, patiently instructing them, "Sleep here obediently, I'm going to find Meimei and bring her back."

"Meow."

The two little ones nodded in unison, watching their older brother leave on the dog's back.

"Meow meow".

"Big brother is so majestic!" the two little ones exclaimed in admiration. Cats and dogs are somewhat naturally opposed to each other, but their big brother, so small, can sit on the back of such a big dog.

That's amazing!

Bai Li, clutching the dog's fur with her paws, bounced on the stray dog's back for a long time. By the time they finally arrived at the urban village, it was already dawn.

"We've arrived."

The stray dog ​​had run this far, and was breathing heavily, but it still had energy.

Bai Li jumped off him, thanked him again, and walked straight ahead.

The stray dog ​​hesitated for a moment: "Little kitten, you want to go over there?"

"Um!"

Bai Li said firmly, "I want to infiltrate the base."

There must be many kittens like Meimei and Laoda trapped in sacks at the base, and he wants to rescue them all.

Judging from his appearance—all white with bright, round eyes—even if the wild dog didn't offer himself up, he'd probably be sacked by the people at the base if he just circled around outside a couple of times.

"Alright."

The stray dog ​​was well aware of its own appearance: "I can't keep you company."

"If you go in, remember to look for Brother Hei as soon as possible."

Black-footed Cat, being a wild feline, is no pushover in terms of fighting prowess. Last night, after being trapped in a sack, he noticed that Blackie was not only caught off guard but also seemed to be playing along.

Bai Li nodded, already feeling very grateful to Brother Gou for bringing him here.

The stray dog ​​didn't leave; he lingered in the area, preparing to wait for the kittens and Blackie to return.

He was a fan of Brother Hei and was originally very arrogant, but after Brother Hei taught him a lesson, he willingly called him "brother" from then on.

Just like the stray dog ​​had predicted, Bai Li ran into the village for less than ten minutes when a short man who was emptying cat poop from the incubation base spotted him at a glance.

Besides accepting cats and dogs sent over for training, the incubation center also trains its own cats for live streaming to generate revenue.

However, the cats and dogs that they choose are all those with outstanding appearances.

"Little kitten".

The short man threw away the cat poop, smiled, and walked towards him, taking a cat treat out of his pocket: "Here, want to eat this?"

Bai Li didn't want to.

He doesn't like these snacks; he prefers human food, like fried dried fish.

But this man was trying to lure the cat away with a cat treat. Bai Li tilted her head, stared at him for a few seconds, and then walked over on her own, pretending to want to eat the cat treat.

A few minutes later, Bai Li was abducted as she had hoped.

"Cousin, come quick! I brought back another cat!" The short man carried him into a large courtyard, which was secured and quite spacious. Beyond the courtyard were several rooms, where the cats usually lived, while the dogs lived in the outer yard.

The man who slept with the cat in the room came out rubbing his eyes.

What breed is it?

"You can't tell it's still a kitten. Its fur is as soft as a Ragdoll's, but not fluffy. Those round eyes and that face are amazing."

The man, still half asleep, rubbed his eyes. But when he saw the snow-white kitten in his cousin's arms, he instantly woke up: "Damn, we really struck gold!"

The incubation base was opened by these two brothers, who came from a remote place. The older cousin is called Wang San, and the younger cousin is called Wang Wu.

They raise and train their own cats to earn money, and all the beautiful cats they get are obtained by picking them up, kidnapping them, stealing them, or even putting them in sacks.

Cats that clearly have owners will be secretly resold after being kept for a while, or the owners will pretend to have found the cat and ask the owner for money. They will also be careful not to leave any evidence of extortion.

As for cats and dogs brought in by others, training will cost extra.

In order to make money, the two brothers put a lot of effort into cats and dogs.

"Lock him up."

Wang San instructed his cousin, "It's still early, let's eat first before we start training."

"Okay, I've made the food, bro, you go eat first. By the way, bro, which cage should I put this kitten in?"

"Let's put cage number 7 together with the one we caught yesterday."

At Wang San's command, Wang Wu grabbed Bai Li and swiftly locked him inside.

There are two cats in cage number 7, one of which, coincidentally, is the black-footed cat that was put in a sack last night.

Black-footed Cat Brother's expression turned grim when he saw Bai Li: "You've been captured by them?"

"I came by myself."

Bai Li explained, "I came to find you and Meimei."

Black-footed Cat remained silent. He could have resisted after being put in the sack, but he didn't because he was here.

After arriving here, he had already met Meimei, and his original plan was to take Meimei away today. Now, however, he has another little kitten to burden him with.

Cat Brother looked at the kitten that had walked right into his trap with a heavy heart. With its size and appearance, it might be good at being cute, but if he were to try something more aggressive, it probably wouldn't work.

Bai Li was unaware of Cat Brother's worries about him. He sat in front of Cat Brother and was asking about the situation here.

The cat cages are placed side by side, and the current scale is not too large.

"Boss."

Bai Li looked at the other cats in the cages: "Many of them don't seem very energetic."

"I'm so tired."

Black-footed Cat said calmly, "The training here is very tiring. If you don't complete it, there will be punishment."

Few cats are truly docile, but when kept in captivity and trained, they all have no choice but to obey.

For the rest of the day, Bai Li finally experienced the daily routine here.

The two brothers each took care of a cat and a dog, respectively. Besides them, there were also a few other people they hired.

They all live in urban villages and are poor, so it wouldn't cost them much to come and help.

"See this gesture? I'm holding out my hand, so come over and rest your chins on my palm."

Wang San first held a cat and forcefully demonstrated the technique. After demonstrating, he put the cat back and then had the other cats follow suit.

Bai Li glanced at his hand, then at the other motionless cats.

Training like that won't get them to listen at all.

His doubts didn't last long, as the man in front of him suddenly turned fierce: "Hurry up! If you don't obey, believe me, I'll stew cat meat?!"

In order to make it easier for them to appear on camera during the live stream after training, these people didn't fight much. If they got injured, medical treatment would cost money, and it wouldn't be suitable for the live stream.

But the cats aren't being beaten; instead, they're going to go hungry.

The food here consists of low-quality cat food and plain white steamed buns that cost only a few cents each.

Scolding and withholding food will either cause an uncooperative cat to either lash out or give in.

Unruly cats will be put in solitary confinement, while subdued cats will be scolded and given poor-quality food for their tasks.

Bai Li and Mei Mei followed behind Black-Foot Cat. Black-Foot Cat was arrogant and disdained to cooperate with this kind of training.

Bai Li poked him with her paw and meowed, "Boss, cooperate with them. I want to get everyone out of here."

He could tell that the cats kept there were in very poor condition, both physically and mentally.

If they are allowed to stay here any longer, they will all die.

The two brothers didn't care about their deaths, but Bai Li didn't want to watch them die.

Let them out; perhaps the cats with owners can find their owners.

Cats without owners can go out and try to find one, or at the very least, learn to pick up trash like other cats. That's better than being worn out here.

Black-footed Cat Brother's eyes showed a hint of confusion when he heard Bai Li's words.

How to save them?

Although Blackfoot Cat was confident in himself, he could only guarantee that he would take Meimei and Baili out.

Bai Li, who had been acting for half a day, spent the time meowing and talking to the other cats.

At that moment, he leaned close to Cat Brother's ear and whispered seriously, "We can instigate a mass rebellion among the cats!"

If only a few cats rebel, the effect will be minimal.

But if all the cats, plus the chained dogs, rebel at the same time, this room, this yard, and these wicked humans will not be able to stop their cat rebellion!

Black-footed Cat Bro: "..."

Cat Brother looked the little guy up and down, who looked like he hadn't been weaned yet: "The cat is small, but it has big ideas."

Bai Li blinked her beautiful eyes and looked into his gaze.

Cat Bro was charmed by their adorable appearance. He paused for a moment, then said, "Not a bad idea. Let's betray them then. I'll notify all the cats and dogs to cooperate."

"Thanks, boss!"

With Cat Brother's support, Bai Li was more confident about her upcoming betrayal.

"Let's take this little kitten."

As they were looking around, Wang San picked Bai Li up and said, "You did a good job today. Come on, let's try appearing on camera."

Wang San has an account registered on the live streaming platform, but he doesn't have many followers yet.

He placed Bai Li in front of the camera and let him start filming.

"Hey little darling, be cute. Lots of people are looking at you through this, say hello to them!"

During the live broadcast, Wang San changed his fierce voice and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.

Bai Li's little ears twitched as she caught the words he said, "There are many people watching you."

He tilted his head and moved closer to the camera.

Then--

"Meow, meow! Meow meow meow!"

The kitten's meows, still sounding like baby cries, rang out urgently. Translated, however, it became a straightforward sentence.

"Save the cat! The cat has been locked up by bad people!"
